known as Erbsgelb in Germany (with a brown gene) and Blau-gelb (no

called the Saxony.

Group of Apricot Duskies. Developed from Fawn
Runners in Britain, Apricot Runners are the Fawn Runner with two blue
genes.
These duskies do not show eye-stripe markings in
the feathers on the face. The under-wing is also pigmented. They
are light phases duskies.
This is
unlike the Trout, Blue Trout and Apricot Trout (Blau-gelb) which have
eye stripes and cream/white underwing feathers.
The Trout and Blau-gelb are not duskies. They are light phase
mallard. (Right)
